Using Tasks in Google Calendar


You can now manage your tasks in Google Calendar in the right sidebar as shown above.

The tasks integrate as follows:

* Those tasks that have due dates will automatically appear on your calendar in the All day event section.
* You can create a task with a due date by clicking on an empty space in the month view or the All Day section and select the Task option.
* It's easy to modify a task's date by simply dragging the task to a new date.
* To mark a task as complete simply click on the check box next to the task.

If you are already using a dedicated application you will likely stay where you are. For others who want basic email/calendar-integrated tasks this makes a great upgrade.
